iMAR at Red Bull Air Race with iµVRU based Trajectory Surveying
14 February 2015
iMAR's iµVRU used in Team M. Dolderer for Flight Path Optimization
The inertial measurement System iµVRU is used in this application for precise monitoring of the flight trajectory (3D position, velocity, roll, pitch, heading, attitude, load factor, acceleration, angular rates) of highly agile aircrafts at Red Bull Air Race. iMAR's low weight high accurate INS/GNSS system is implemented on the EDGE 540 aircraft of M. Dolderer. The flight support and data visualization is provided by StockFlight Systems and the data acquisition and advanced INS/GNSS signal processing is performed by iMAR Navigation.
During the race in August 2014 in Ascot / UK the team M. Dolderer achieved race rank 4 and global rank 8 in the Master's Class. In Las Vegas (09/2014) we achieved rank 3. The race in Abu Dhabi (02/2015) is just in process.
